As frost patterns form on windows across the Chinese mainland, fourth-generation paper-cutting maestro Zhang Weisheng is setting social media ablaze with his Year of the Horse chuanghua designs. 🧧 These aren't your grandma's paper cuts – unless your grandma's work gets featured on Douyin trends!
Four Horses, Four Fortunes
Zhang's 2026 collection includes:
🐴 Galloping Stallion: Career advancement energy that even your LinkedIn profile can't match
🏇 Jumping Foal: Overcoming obstacles like a TikTok challenge champion
💨 Wind-Swift Mare: Manifesting that 2026 travel glow-up
💞 Nuzzling Pair: For love that outlasts your phone battery
From Han Dynasty to HD Videos
While traditionalists use rice paste to stick these crimson masterpieces, young creators are now filming #PaperCutChallenge tutorials. 'It's like origami meets ASMR,' says @CraftyCassie, whose horse-cutting reel got 2M views last week.
As families prepare for Spring Festival feasts starting February 17, these paper symbols remind us: In 2026, maybe the real good luck is the cultural connections we make along the way. 🌸
